The Logic of Coffeelogical

Why another coffee blog? Aren't there enough of them out there? Well, yes, there are a lot, and many of them are great resources. But Coffeelogical has a twist or two that makes it unique from all the others.

First of all, the name Coffeelogical is a combination play on the words "coffee" and "theology." We've created a place where we can drink coffee, explore the nature of the Creator of the universe, and enjoy all kinds of stuff in between.

A second twist is our love for traditional slipjoint pocket knives. So we created a section simply for pictures of knives and coffee, which is a unique little niche all on its own.

So grab a cup of coffee, of whatever variety you like: black or with cream and sugar, hot or cold, flavored or single origin, weak or strong (even instant, I guess, if that's all you have...), and browse around a bit. Enjoy your time here, and come back often!
